Chapter 172 Thief
Xibao was unwilling to give in and searched carefully again, but there was no monument to her.
Her father had even erected monuments for her cousins, but he didn't help her. He clearly knew that she was still alive!
Xibao couldn't wait any longer, so he went to find Jin Dachuan again.
"Xibao? Oh no, now my name is Boss Liu. Hahahaha."
Jin Dachuan was very happy to see Xibao and hurriedly asked her to sit down.
Xibao was not in the mood to reminisce with him.
Jin Dachuan helped set up the cemetery in her family. If he went to pay homage every year according to what he said, it is impossible that he did not know about adding a new grave.
"Uncle Kim."
Xibao looked at the servant, and Jin Dachuan knew that she had something to say and sent him out.
Xibao then asked anxiously: "Do you have any news about my father?"
Jin Dachuan was surprised, but seeing her rushing over to ask questions in such a hurry, he guessed that she had already gone to the Jiang family cemetery.
"Did you see those new graves too?"
"So Uncle Jin knows about it?"
Jin Dachuan then also frowned and said: "It's really strange. In the past few years, one or two new graves have been added every year. The person who erected the monument said it was your father. There were several times when I asked someone to
I kept an eye on it for a while, and happened to catch up with someone setting up a monument."
When Xibao heard this, he became nervous instantly and grabbed the edge of her skirt with both hands.
Just listen to Jin Dachuan continue to say: "But I rushed over in a hurry and found that they were just coolies who were paid to do things. They didn't even know who your father was."
"coolie?"
Xibao did not give up and continued to ask: "Then have you asked whose money they took?"
"Of course I asked."
Jin Dachuan sighed, "But they said they haven't even seen anyone. Every year around the anniversary of your family's death, someone would send them money, write an inscription on the monument, and ask them to erect the monument. It has been like this for seven or eight years in a row.
"
Jin Dachuan said, and also patted his thigh.
"It's true that your father, even if he refuses to contact me, should look for you. He has time to remember those relatives who have passed away, so why can't he take care of you first? Leaving you alone in this world with no one to rely on.
Damn it, how could he bear it?"
After many years, this was the first time someone spoke out what was in Xibao's heart.
Whenever Xibao thought of her family and wondered why Jiang Yifu didn't come to see him, she would blame him for a while, but only for a while.
She will grow up and her appearance will change, but her father is different.
As long as his father is still a wanted criminal by the court, it would be excusable for him not to come out to find her.
After all, her father was the person who loved her the most in the world.
Ever since he was a little older, he would carry her on his shoulders as he went around the theater and listened to plays, and would tell everyone he met that she was his baby.
It was he who taught her many principles of life, and even though her family was ruined at a young age, she did not go astray.
But now that the imperial court is gone and a new world has arrived, it's time for him to come out and look for her.
Do they have to wait until Yuwen Shike is completely eliminated before their father and daughter can be reunited?
Nothing came out from Jin Dachuan, so Xibao had no choice but to pack up and return to Beijing alone.
She guessed that Jiang Yifu was at least in the Beijing-Tianjin area. As long as she could remain popular in Beijing, she would not be afraid that her father would not be able to find her.
Jin Dachuan kept sending Xibao outside the gate. After watching her leave with his own eyes, the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Girl, don't blame your father. He really hopes that you can live well. Those blood feuds in your family are things that adults only want to think about. You are still just a child after all."
After Wen Zhongjun settled down in Beijing, he went to meet with the people from Yikun class, and after discussing the details, he sent telegrams three times a day urging her to return to Beijing, as if the telegrams were free of charge.
Today I received news from Xibao that she would come to Beijing by train. Wen Zhongjun was waiting at the station early in the morning, but in the end he missed it.
Xi Baoxun didn't even look for her. After getting off the train, he went directly to Yuwen Shike's mansion.
It's all because she paid too little attention to the current situation recently, and actually missed a shocking piece of news.
If she hadn't met two old gentlemen playing chess on the train just now, she wouldn't have known that Yuwen Shike, who had always been the emperor's favorite, had suddenly become an important figure in the new government. Maybe he would still be the one in the world from now on.
What you say has the final say.
Xibao really felt that she was too naive, that she was too ignorant of political power, and that she looked down upon these people in the officialdom.
But she is no longer the little girl who had no power and was treated like a fool.
She has already learned how to use people's hearts to achieve her goals. She also has her own social circle and can get a lot of information.
The key is that she doesn't want to wait any longer, she wants to use her actual actions to make Yuwen Shike feel the pain.
It doesn't matter if he is standing high now. The higher he stands, the more miserable his death will be if he falls.
Yuwen Shike has two residences in Beijing, one is Chongya Thatched Cottage, which she visited once before when she followed Song Youzhen back to Beijing.
The other place is a temple next to the Forbidden City. The two old men on the train said that they have been living in the temple to hide from peace and quiet these days.
"Hiding quiet? Him? Humph! It's just for fame and reputation. The people from the south have worked hard to conquer the world, and he just comes out to enjoy the fruits of it. If he doesn't live in the temple and pretend to be pretentious, he will lose face for fear of being said to be a shameless person."
"You can't say that, right? Didn't he always refuse to come?"
"Rejection? Look at the people who recommended him to the position, who are not his former subordinates? If it wasn't his intention, would they dare to be so blatant?"
So said the two old men.
Xibao listened for a while before finally understanding the situation.
Now she was sitting on a rickshaw, staring at the high wall of the temple.
It is indeed the place where the former Prime Minister of the Cabinet lived. Even if it is just a temple that relies on pilgrims to eat, it is still built so magnificently.
Xibao felt that the monks who came in and out of the gate were all highly skilled in martial arts.
She was staring intently when she suddenly saw a man coming out of the room being shouted at.
I haven't seen him for eight years, but his appearance has not changed much, except that his hair has turned white, and his eyes are not as sharp as before, but a little softer.
Fortunately, Xibao will not think that there is a real Buddha in the temple who can save people. How can a thief who steals other people's revolutionary achievements have the heart of a Bodhisattva?
No matter how much she hated Yuwen Shike, she couldn't help but praise him in her heart.
"My acting skills are so good, it would be lost if I didn't sing."
Yuwen Shike is a very perceptive person. He quickly noticed that the face of the little girl with evil eyes in front of him, who was originally cheerful, suddenly revealed a sinister look.
At this moment, there were two men standing next to him, one was his eldest son Yuwen Ding, and the other was his confidential secretary, Bu Xusheng.
This man was of short stature, with a slightly stooped back, a small scar at the end of his left eye, a rare lack of beard, and a shriller voice.
